Lucille Peep

Kiwy and Kako

Here is a couple of penguins I made and sold (yay!) to a super cool gal who's taking well care of them. Of course the inspiration came from "March of Penguins". After seeing how much these poor cuties endure to perpetuate their species, I couldn't help to give them warm scarves and hats.

I finished my second amigurumi!!

Finally! It's a gift for my friend's baby shower. I think he's a little funky shaped, I didn't use a pattern. I just hope she likes it. Actually, I guess she doesn't have to like it, the baby does. And most babies don't care about proportions.

I should be able to fix my 'proportion' problem since I got an Amigurumi Collection (Vol. 3) book. :D :D :D It makes me so, so happy! So far, so good with the charts. I bought a pictorial Japanese/English dictionary today, so I'm slowly figuring out what the symbols mean. Unfortunately, there is no pronunciation, only kanji. Which is fine, but I guess I was hoping for both. I guess you can't always get what you want, but you get what you need! Ahh baby, yea! Sorry, just a little Stones to end the day!! So.... happy thoughts, lusious merriment, and much obsessive yarning!

My 2nd Ami. bunny

Well, here's the 2nd one as promised, lol. I finished it this afternoon. Again, it started as a pattern from Roxycraft, but this time I only used the pattern for the body & head. The rest I designed as I went along.

I really like this one & can't wait to move on to my next which I think is going to be a "Chihuahua". After seeing how adorable Jenn's turned out the other day, who could resist!

Hello!!!!!

1st I just want to thank Jessica for helping me to join this group. I've been lurking for the past month or so & have really enjoyed seeing everyone's pics. I thought I had best contribute now that I'm listed so I whipped up my 1st Ami. between yesterday & today.

I had ordered some patterns from "Roxycraft" a couple of weeks ago. The pattern was clear & easy to follow, but I wanted to add my own spin to it.

I allowed the kids (I have 2 that I homeschool) to choose one pattern each for me to make; this is the first one. I will post a pic. of the other when it's finished.

"Roadkill Kitty"

A little handbag inspired from a photo from a craft book. Which craft book??? I have no clue, sorry. I found the photo online months ago and saved it to my inspiration folder. teehee You can see it on my blog site. Roadkill Kitty is made from Red Heart Super Saver Worsted Weight yarn. I was thinking of a pink felt tongue lolling out but I didn't have any on me. hehe (^-^)' More info at Amigurumi Girl . More photos at Flickr.

Amigurumi Addiction

Hi All! It is great to know that others can't help but making Amigurumis. I've joined this blog to feel the closure that I'm not alone in this world. I'm posting one of my softies, the Prince from the Katamari Damacy game, and I'd love to hear your comments.

Well, she's finally done. Can't say I'm 100% pleased, but I think for my first one she's ok. I have a couple problem areas that I need to improve on, i.e. the legs aren't exactly right, the arms aren't the same length or attached evenly and the neck really needs some help (It's sooo floppy but I think I figured it out though). Oh yeah, and the hair. Umm, I'm not quite sure what I was thinking. But hey, ya gotta start somewhere, right? Right. Well, thanks for letting me share. Happy St. Patti's Day!! Ciao

Mrs. Noah and her turtle

I made the ark tote bag awhile ago but didn't get around to making anything to fill it until recently. The characters are from another pattern for Ark Animals available at epatternscentral. I'm still working on other animals to fill up the ark.

It's Spring!

More amigurumi! I love spring and flowers. I have been making lots of flowers for a flower swap on Crochetville and was inspired with making flowers and the amigurumi I've been doing. I plan on adding the pattern for these little flower dolls on my blog soon and some of the flower designs I made for the flower swap too.

Bunny Blankie

I made this for a baby shower coming up next month. I used Caron Simply Soft Orchid and White. The length of the blanket portion is about 2 ft (I haven't measure it yet sorry). There's a photo of it with my daughter at my Flickr site for reference - she is over 42" tall. The inspiration for this blanket came from a pattern called Bear-ghan found in my desk calendar Crochet Pattern-a-day. For more info visit my blog (which is having problems at the moment,by the way. Please, bear with me!) (^_^)v

I came across amigurumi in a crochet book catalog about a week ago. I didn't buy the book (it seemed overpriced) instead, I found all the resources I would ever want on the internet (such as Amigurumi-Along). Here is one of my first animals. I made this little piggy out of my head. I am not sure if the pictures up there will show up, so here is a link to my flickr page just in case http://www.flickr.com/photos/62572522@N00/

My Pups are Finally Done

Yay, I finally completed these pups. For more info on them visit my blog Amigurumi Girl . You'll also find a Flickr badge there that you can click on for more pup pics. (^-^)* Great to see everyone else being so productive and creative! Thanks for posting!

Hi i'm new amigurumi along.I love to crochet currently i'm working on a hello kitty's in diffrent outfits and i'm planning on selling them.I need to wait on the patterns but i'm super excited to join this group nice work everyone.

Good Morning! I've been slowly working on my girl. I had originally named her Pinky, but every time my son sees her he say "nice, nice." So I think I'm going to change her name to Nice. I think she likes it.she's not very happy that she's not done though. Even though her eyes are closed, she still shoots out the dirty looks. Especially since Body is sittin' right next to her. she doesn't dig that too much. Honestly, Body would like to be connected too. They say, "I just don't feel complete, mom. Fix me." So I'm almost done. And I have to work today. But I am going over to my friend's house and she loves to craft. I bet I can convince her to help me make some hair. If someone would help, that would be great! It would get done so much faster! We'll see this evening. Hopefully I'll have her completed tomarrow and be able to post her tomarrow night. Yeah! That sounds like a good goal. I'm gonna go for it! Well, have a good one, all! See ya soon!Here is Body sitting next to Nice. Soon, loveys, soon you'll be one.

My Sock Monkey...

Thought I would post a picture of my first amigurumi that I crocheted. I just took a combination of various amigurumi and used the Bernat Demin Style yarn. I love Sock Monkeys. I wanted to use the Rodeo Tan but I could only get ahold of the darker style. I think it didn't turn out too bad for a first try. Probably overstuffed the belly too much, but if I squish him down a bit, you can't even tell (ouch!) I have a feeling I'm going to be an amigurumi-aholic...they are just way too cute. Okay...onto the next one!
